[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
[Bm]We w[D]ent down
the riverside in the [Bm]morning
It [D]was dawning on me then
that I [Bm]had better start pretending
[D]We held out our hands to
lessen the [Bm]distance
[D]We'd been growing without
knowing what [Bm]we'd lose
[D]As I looked, I [Bm]was sure
So you [D]grow a little smaller,
a little [Bm]small[Am]er n[Bm]ow[Daug]
[F#][Gm][D][Bm][D]
[Bm]
[D]You stopped reading poetry in the [Bm]winter
Said [D]the unrelenting rhyming
Made [Bm]you weary and
[D]caught webs on the covers
Had me [Bm]all nervous
[D]But I left them there just
hoping you might
[Bm]Care enough to notice
[D]As I looked, I [Bm]was sure
Saw you [D]growing a little smaller
I'm a little [Bm]small[Am]er now
[D][Bm][Daug][Edim]
And [D]all of our [F#]friends used to say
that [Bm]you were bound to
leave me in the [G]end
That funny little [D]joke on my men[F#]tal tube
It has gone [Bm]quiet now
and when I point it [G]out
They shift upon [Gm]their seats
And I crumble [D]to dust
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [Bm]oh, oh, oh, oh, [D]oh, oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, [Bm]oh, oh, oh, oh,
[D]We went down the riverside
in [Bm]the morning
And I am [D]hoping against hope
That you'll be com[Bm]ing
back home with me
[D]Tonight you
